Chapter 415: Forces of the Parties
With the crunch of wheels against the stone slabs, Ren Baqian sat on the ox cart and looked at the buildings and pedestrians on both sides.
Completely unfamiliar environment, there is a feeling of being on a tourist.
Most of the buildings in Dragon's Head are made of wood or pillars.
The building is dilapidated, and the closer you get to the city gates.
Many children in old clothes or with bare buttocks were running around or biting their dirty fingers while watching him.
No matter where they are, whether they are poor or rich, children are always full of energy.
And adults can see more on their faces.
After looking at it, Ren Baqian felt that the situation of ordinary residents should not be too good. Whether it's in dress, complexion or mental outlook.
Dressed shabby, mentally numb, and not smiling much.
As we went deeper and deeper into the city, the buildings on both sides became much better, and the houses on both sides began to be decorated with more flowers and plants.
"Yuelai Inn?" Ren Baqian first saw a big word "guest", and only after approaching did he see the name of the inn on it.
It is worthy of being the largest chain inn on the rivers and lakes, and it has opened to the other world.
"Boss, two upper rooms. Ren Baqian walked into the courtyard and shouted, that's what it was on TV.
"What's in the upper room?" the proprietress in front of the counter looked up and opened her mouth to smell of big ballast. The person is very beautiful, although the forehead is a little big, but the eyebrows are curved, the almond eyes, look around thirty, the look is charming, giving people the feeling of long sleeves and good dancing.
"Upper room...... The best room. "Ren Baqian's face collapsed, and it was not good to be out of school.
"Niu Er, two first-class rooms. The proprietress shouted first, and then smiled at Ren Baqian and said, "The guest is talking strangely and interestingly, from afar?"
"Well, I'm from Yunguo. Ren Baqian nodded, this was his identity this time.
He and Lin Qiaole don't look like the remnants of the Hao Kingdom, but they look like the people of Daxia in the Yun Kingdom.
"Is there still a war? Is it easy to walk?" asked the proprietress .
"Hit it. The road is not easy to walk, and it takes a lot of effort. There was an ox cart outside, so I drove into the yard first. Ren Baqian threw down the words and went out first to bring in the ox cart.
The proprietress leaned against the door and watched Ren Baqian's movements, her eyes flashed, and when she saw Ren Baqian's action of tying the cow to the stable, she was slightly puzzled.
The movement of this cow tying rope does not look like a Yunguo person, but it looks like an ancient tribe.
The people of Yunguo like to tie the Qingyun buckle, and the ancient people tie the mount with a three-ring buckle.
Ren Baqian watched the guards bolt their mounts to the tree every day, and naturally they were used to their ties, and they didn't feel anything wrong.
When Ren Baqian looked up at her, she smiled again.
"Got to the place?" When Ren Baqian opened the curtain, Lin Qiaole snorted twice and slowly "crawled" out of it, as if he had no bones.
When she came out, let Ren Baqian carry her box again, and the two of them entered their room under the leadership of the shopkeeper, which was two adjacent rooms on the second floor.
When I went upstairs, the proprietress lazily asked, "There's nothing in the car, right?" ”
"It's gone. ”
"The guests brought less goods.
The room was clean.
After all, this is the Dragon Head City, the first city to enter the basin, there are many merchants coming and going, and the inn is also good.
"Let's go, go out for a walk. Ren Baqian gave Lin Qiaole, who collapsed on the bed as soon as he entered the room, a kick.
"Hmm......"
Ren Baqian took out a lollipop expressionlessly, shook it in front of Lin Qiaole, and then threw it towards the door, and after a gust of wind, Lin Qiaole appeared at the door.
Sure enough, sugar is not everything, but no sugar is everything.
Then Ren Baqian opened the box, took out a grenade and put it in the money bag and hung it on his waist, I heard that there are a lot of pickpockets here?
Then the box was locked, and the two of them left the room.
"Hostess, don't let people in our room. Ren Baqian threw down a sentence.
"Don't worry, if anyone goes in, I'll break his paws. ”
Not long after Ren Baqian left, the proprietress wandered upstairs and pushed open the door and went in, took out a wire and stabbed it twice in the lock, and when she opened the box, she saw a bunch of bullets inside, more than a dozen grenades, a rifle, and a few notebooks.
I picked up the book and looked through it, and found that it was a font I didn't recognize.
I looked at the grenades and bullets one by one, and finally put them back in the box before locking them.
......
Ren Baqian took Lin Qiaole out of the room, and walked in the direction of the city with his hands behind his back, while looking at the shops on both sides.
All kinds of cloth shops, salt shops, medicinal herb shops, rice shops, ready-to-wear shops, there should be, and people in front of the door go in and out, which looks lively.
Standing aside and watching for a while, Ren Baqian knew who these shops were.
Many people go in with a bag or several bags of things on their backs, put them on a cart or carry them away with bamboo, and they don't look like ordinary people, but like small traders in other cities.
Here you can buy the items you need at a low price and sell them in the countryside or in small towns.
After walking for a short time, I smelled a fragrance full of nasal cavities, followed the smell and found that someone was roasting a fruit much larger than lychee on the stove, and after a while of roasting, the shell would crack, and a pungent fragrance would be emitted from it.
"How did you sell it?" asked Ren Baqian.
"Three articles. ”
Ren Baqian turned his head to look at Lin Qiaole next to him, saliva flowed out, and it flowed down his neck into his clothes.
"Thirty comes. "Ren Baqian threw over a tael of silver.
The shell is so hot that you peel it open to reveal the golden flesh inside.
It tastes a bit like coconut fruit, a little chewy, and tastes good.
On the next road, Lin Qiaole couldn't stop holding bags of snacks there.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way...... "There was a sound of horses' hooves, and a few men in long robes galloped through the street on bantam horses, causing a little commotion.
"Who are they?" asked a hawker as he stood on the side of the road.
"The guests are from afar, it's from the Nine Knife Gate, don't provoke them, it's fine. The peddler laughed.
"Riding a horse in the city, no one cares?" asked Ren Baqian.
"Don't talk nonsense, this Nine Swords Gate has a lot of power around here, if it is heard by others, be careful to trouble you. The peddler hurriedly said.
"So domineering? I didn't say anything, I just asked if anyone was in charge of the situation. Ren Baqian raised his eyebrows and threw a tael of silver to the vendor.
"Trouble to relieve doubts, we are from other places, first touch our heads, so as not to provoke people who should not be provoked when we get the time. ”
"If the guests stay for a while, they will know that many of the city defenders are disciples of the Nine Swords Sect, and there are also many people in the Department of Public Security, as long as there is nothing to do, naturally no one cares about them. The peddler looked left and right and whispered.
Ren Baqian threw another tael of silver over, but he heard a lot of news from the peddler.
Within the scope of Longshou City, the biggest force is not the mansion master who controls the five thousand defenders, but a sect called Jinhuan Mansion, which is the largest sect in the area of Longshou City, Thorn City, and Sanyuanli City.
Of course, this Golden Ring Mansion is only the biggest force in this area.
And Dragon Head City is actually one of the largest forces belonging to the three parties in this basin.
Therefore, although this Golden Ring Mansion was stronger than the Dragon Head City Lord in this area, it did not dare to provoke the Dragon Head City Lord.
Of course, the Dragon Head City Lord would not provoke them, because the Golden Ring Mansion was not just a sect.
In addition to these two parties, there are two smaller sects, one is the Nine Swords Sect and the other is the Jiang School.
In addition, there is also a gang called Dead Toad in the local area, which controls a group of ruffian thieves, and its power is not large, after all, if it is big, the lord of Longshou City will not tolerate them.
According to the peddler's words, even this dead toad is not something that outsiders can provoke.
When you go out, safety first, harmony is the most important, no matter who you meet, just keep your head down, there is no need to cause trouble.
Ren Baqian thanked the vendor for his kindness and continued to walk forward with Lin Qiaole.
He was clear about the approximate sphere of influence of this Dragon Head City, but he didn't expect that there were so many different forces in such a small city, and it was really too chaotic compared to the area where the ancient clan was located.
"Now, your money bag has been stolen. Lin Qiaole said vaguely while eating the fruit in his hand.
Ren Baqian touched the money bag on his waist, and sure enough, it was gone.
"Do you want me to help you get it back? Lin Qiaole's eyes lit up.
"No need. Ren Baqian smiled.
I think I'll hear the cannon fire in a moment.
The grenade is something that others don't know what it does, but when they see the pull ring on it, they will definitely pull it.
The two of them walked forward two more cups of tea, and they heard a loud "boom!" in the distance from the other direction.
Ren Baqian glanced in that direction, and continued to prepare for a place to eat casually.
